The DeFi trading experience will be redefined. Supported by top institutions such as Pantera Capital, YZi Lab, and OKX Venture, and focusing on MEV and liquidity staking infrastructure under the Monad architecture, aPriori has officially launched Swapr, a DEX aggregator designed for high-performance chains that brings an unprecedented execution experience to DeFi through real-time order flow identification, smart wallet classification, and low-latency routing.
Behind Swapr's birth is a clear judgment: high latency and unfair sorting remain core obstacles preventing DeFi from matching traditional financial trading speeds. The lack of a censorship-resistant execution environment also deters many traditional institutions from deploying capital on-chain.
"True financial infrastructure must be not only fast but also stable and fair," said Ray, founder of aPriori. "We hope to reconstruct transaction execution standards without sacrificing decentralization by leveraging next-generation high-performance chains like Monad."
Swapr: More Than an Aggregator, an Intelligent Order Flow Distribution System
Swapr's greatest feature lies in its built-in order flow identification and classification capabilities. Using a proprietary AI model, Swapr can identify and grade a transaction within 500 milliseconds, guiding healthy, natural "clean orders" to efficient trading pools like Capricorn's private liquidity pool, while routing "toxic traffic" such as sandwich attacks and arbitrage to AMMs with better buffering capabilities, ensuring LPs are not eroded by malicious liquidity.
Swapr's order flow classification is based primarily on:
· Transaction characteristics: transaction source, wallet type, trading pair volatility, slippage preference, etc.;
· Wallet behavior history: address's past trading style, cross-chain behavior, and fund paths;
· Protocol custom preferences: supporting DEX developers to access custom rules and flexibly manage liquidity access strategies.
This means Swapr does not blindly broadcast transactions but "understands" them before deciding where to execute.
Vertical Architecture Deeply Integrated with Validator Nodes
Swapr is not just a front-end tool but completely integrated with aPriori's MEV infrastructure, deeply merged with validator nodes, staking modules, and block construction logic.
This design brings three core advantages:
· Unified off-chain and on-chain paths: transactions submitted through the same channel as aPriori, obtaining faster confirmation and stronger MEV protection;
· Richer data training models: leveraging private RPC and MEV bundle channels, Swapr obtains massive real transaction intent data, continuously optimizing classification algorithms;
· Monad's parallel EVM advantages: transaction execution is no longer a bottleneck, and Swapr can more accurately judge liquidity risks using chain-level performance and historical behavior data.
Ray emphasizes: "Judging whether an AI classification model is useful is not about how 'smart the algorithm is,' but whether users can obtain better prices on our platform than elsewhere. That is the hardest indicator."
Next Steps: Broader, Deeper, Faster
Upcoming updates for Swapr include:
· Multi-chain wallet behavior clustering and dataset expansion
· New time series models to identify "new types of toxic traffic"
· Modular integration with more Monad native DEX modules to further compress transaction latency
Ray states: "We believe that in the future, users should enjoy the same execution experience when exchanging stablecoins or executing transactions on-chain as on centralized exchanges. And building this experience starts with Swapr."
The team behind Swapr, comprising members from Jump, Coinbase, Citadel Securities, and dYdX, blends traditional high-frequency trading expertise with native on-chain technology, creating a true next-generation trading foundation for DeFi.
